If there’s one thing we love about following along with the royal family, it’s watching Kate Middleton and Prince William’s kids grow up. At first, they became parents to Prince George, which was so exciting, and since then, they’ve also added Charlotte and Louis to their crew. This adorable family of five is too sweet, and every time Kate shares any kind of update on what her kids are like these days, we soak it all up. Kids change so fast!
Sometimes, Kate offers updates on her kids while visiting events or giving speeches, and sometimes, it’s in the form of beautiful portraits she’s taken of them while hanging out at home or celebrating their birthdays. No matter how she shares it, we always love keeping up with Kate’s kiddos.
Here are some of the best updates that Kate has shared about her kids. Stories, photos, little tidbits here and there about their personalities … we’ll take it all!
Princess Charlotte Is In Charge
Her kids love cheesy pasta
Honestly, doesn’t this apply to all kids?! When Kate visited the Lavender Primary School, she talked about her children’s food preferences. And not only does Charlotte love olives (surprising for a kid her age) but all of the kids are huge fans of cheesy pasta.
“They made cheesy pasta the other day. One stirs the flour, one puts the milk and butter in. And they make salads and stuff,” Ivy Learning Trust chief Matthew Kleiner-Mann told a reporter at the event.
These photos from the Chelsea Flower Show
Every now and then, the royal family will share an update that includes some of their personal family photos, and this one from last spring was one of those times. Not only could we not believe how big Prince Louis was getting already, but isn’t this family the cutest, all playing in the garden together? Hopefully, more photos are coming this year, too.
Louis adores playing in the garden
Speaking of playing in the garden — apparently, that happens to be one of Prince Louis’ favorite pastimes. At the Chelsea Flower Show, Kate spoke with fellow mom Sarah Griffiths, and they talked about what her youngest son loves to do outside.
"She was just saying that her little boy Louis loves to smell flowers and he enjoys being out in the garden," Sarah said.
Charlotte loves spicy food
We already knew that Charlotte loves olives, but apparently, her grown-up tastes don’t end there. As Kate said during a visit to Pakistan, she loves to cook curry, but Charlotte’s the only one who can handle the spice.
"It's so hard cooking curry with the family though. The children have a portion with no spice, [William's] is medium, and I quite like it hot. Charlotte is pretty good with heat,” Kate said.
George and Charlotte both love photography
We’re always totally blown away by the beautiful photos that Kate takes, especially of her children, and now it sounds like her kiddos are taking after her in that way. While at an event last summer, Kate talked to teens interested in pursuing photography and shared that George and Charlotte love taking pictures, too.
"Just look at everything around you. Maybe it's in front of you, or far away, but choose your subject and focus on it,” she said at the time. “Get outside with your camera as well. George and Charlotte love it when we do that."
Prince Louis is adventurous
Every photo we’ve seen of Louis so far seems to indicate that he has quite a sense of adventure, and according to what Kate said at an event in 2019, Louis has been “keeping us on our toes,” especially on the playground.
"I turned around the other day and he was at the top of the slide — I had no idea!" she said.
